I believe this to be 1963. Below I type the entire clipping:

SENATORS SHOW FILM TO BOOST BILL

Eliot Ness at Last Stacks Up With His Son

By Milton Berliner

Robert Stack, who fearlessly battles gangsters on television, is finally going to become a hero to his 5-year-old son.

As Eliot Ness in "The Untouchables," Mr. Stack hasn't made much of an impression with him.

"He once saw the first five minutes of an episode and his comment was 'Is it over yet, daddy?" said Mr. Stack who is in town with his new film, "The Caretakers."

"But now I've got a present that is going to make me look 10 feet tall to him. It's Scott Carpenter's autograph."

PARTY

Mr. Stack and his wife met the Carpenters at a party for the Astronauts Tuesday night.

"I was kind of shuffling my feet like a bad Western actor," Mr. Stack said. "His was the first autograph I ever asked for."

He proudly displayed the piece of yellow paper on which Astronaut Carpenter had scribbled: "To Charlie, from an admirer of his father. Good luck."

BTW, I met your father at the recent Omega store signing in NYC with Charlie Duke and Ed Buckbee, and he was most gracious in signing my copy of your book, even pronouncing my given name - Aurelio - right. A memorable night for me.
